Contextual Overview

1 Iesus went vnto ye Mount of Oliues: 2 And earely in the morning hee came againe into the Temple, and all the people came vnto him, and he sate downe, and taught them. 3 And the Scribes and Pharisees brought vnto him a woman taken in adultery, and when they had set her in the mids, 4 They say vnto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses in the Law commanded vs, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6 This they said, tempting him, that they might haue to accuse him. But Iesus stouped downe, and with his finger wrote on the ground as though he heard them not. 7 So when they continued asking him, hee lift vp himselfe, and saide vnto them, Hee that is without sinne among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8 And againe, hee stouped downe, and wrote on the ground. 9 And they which heard it, being conuicted by their owne conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, euen vnto the last: and Iesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Iesus had lift vp himselfe, and saw none but the woman, hee said vnto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And early in the morning he came again into the temple,.... Which shows his diligence, constancy, and assiduity, in his ministerial work, as well as his courage and intrepidity; being fearless of his enemies, though careful to give them no advantage against him, before his time:

and all the people came unto him; which also commends the industry and diligence of his hearers, who were forward to hear him, and were early at the temple for that purpose, and that in great numbers:

and he sat down and taught them; he sat, as his manner was;

:-; and taught them as one having authority, and such doctrine, and in such a manner, as never man did; with all plainness, boldness, and freedom.
